HELP!! Need dessert ideas!!!

So I am going to a cook out next sunday where everybody brings a dish or two. So i am already bringing a meal dish which is my velvetta dip, now I need a quick easy dessert idea, something that does NOT need to be in the fridge or warmed. Something that is just wam, bam its done now eat it. BUt its good. lol Any ideas? recipes you don't mind sharing and pics are very welcome! Help me ladies I have no idea what to make. I am getting rather frustrated.

Preheat oven to 325 if cooking in a bundt pan like I did. (Don't bother asking about different pans - I haven't tried yet so I don't have a clue!). Spray and flour pan.

Combine dry cake mix with dry pudding mix. Add eggs, oil and orange juice. Very slowly add Mtn Dew. (V-E-R-Y slowly, unless you like cake mix foam all over your counter top). Mix at medium until blended and there are no more lumps.

Pour into bundt pan and bake 45-50 min.

Let cake cool a bit (5 min or so) then turn onto plate or platter. Cool a little more while making glaze.

Glaze:

1/3 cup butter

1 c sugar

1/2 c Mountain Dew

2 Tbs orange juice

Neon green food coloring (optional)

*note: I plan to half the glaze next time I make this. It makes a lot! But I decided to record it exactly as I made it.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add sugar. Stir to incorporate. SLOWLY add Mtn Dew and orange juice. Bring to a boil, turning up heat if needed, stirring often. Boil for a few minutes until glaze is clear and begins to thicken to a syrup. (At this point, I added a few drops of neon green food coloring to make it Dew colored. It doesn't show up much on the exterior of the cake, but on the slices, it gives the edges a fun Dew-green halo)

Press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the prepared pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread over the crescent layer. Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer. Do not press down. Pour the melted margarine over the entire pan. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is crisp and golden.
